Introduction

This library provides a simple API for receiving and sending digitizer/touch/keyboard events on the reMarkable tablets. Currently, the main consumer is rM-vnc-server. It also supports using uinput to emulate the presence of such devices, which may be useful in virtualized environments.

Building

The supported way to build this is via the Nix package manager, through the nix-remarkable expressions. To build just this project via nix build from this repo, download it into the pkgs/ directory of nix-remarkable.

For any other system, the Makefile should provide some guidance; please set REMARKABLE_VERSION to one or two (depending on which version you are building for), and, if interested in the standalone (statically linked, with a bundled uinput kernel module) version of the library, provide the path to appropriate kernel module in the UINPUT_KO environment variable.

Prebuilt binaries are available in the Releases tab.

Usage

For the library, see rM-input-devices.h for the interface. A simple executable rM-mk-uinput (which takes no arguments and does nothing but create uinput devices for any missing input devices) is also provided.
